Chapter 99: She Craves My Body
The thought that suddenly surfaced made her heart skip a beat.
Athena suppressed the terrifying thought in her heart, her face still carrying a lazy and charming smile, “By the way, what do you think of Miss Angelica? The Hero seems to dote on her quite a bit…”
Hearing Angelica’s name, the guards curled their lips in disdain.
“She’s just a lowly maid. If it weren’t for the Hero’s favor, even if Angelica greeted us with a smile every day, we wouldn’t bother with her.”
“After all, her status doesn’t warrant us talking to her.”
Listening to the guards’ replies, Athena smiled, but her voluptuous body slowly rose from the ground. She stretched her arms languidly, her beautiful and toned figure appearing before the guards, whose eyes went straight.
“Well, I’ve had a bit too much to drink. I’m going out for some fresh air. You guys continue drinking.”
Waving her hand gently at the soldiers, Athena turned and left. She was going to find the owner of the bar where Ekaterina had gotten drunk to continue investigating Qin Chu. The more she knew, the better.
She hoped she was just being overly suspicious, otherwise, this would be a formidable opponent.
“Miss Athena is such a good woman.”
“Beautiful, with a great figure, and such a gentle personality. Even though she’s a member of the Hero Squad and a Grand Mage, she’s so nice to us guards, without any arrogance. She’s truly perfect.”
“If only she could be my wife…”
“Dream on, how could it be your turn… I think Miss Athena will probably become the Hero’s woman, just like Miss Ekaterina…”
“Please, no…”
…
On the quiet street, Athena walked slowly.
Tap, tap, tap!
Her high heels clicked crisply on the stone slabs.
Suddenly, Athena’s eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her slender eyes lifting into a slight arc. Someone was following her.
It wasn’t Qin Chu’s cute little maid. Although the maid had been watching her drink with the guards, she hadn’t followed her out of the residence.
Who could it be? Athena was a little curious. Was it Wadsworth’s people, the Holy See, or even a spy from the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess?
Should she teach him a lesson and let him know that tailing someone was very impolite?
Athena faced forward, but her eyes clearly saw the figure hidden in the shadows behind her. The smile on her lips grew colder, and she snapped her fingers with a snap.
A ball of flame instantly erupted from the shadows behind her.
A twisted figure writhed violently, its movements unlike anything a normal human could do, strange and distorted.
Its entire body was engulfed in flames, which seemed to cause it great pain. It let out a strange wail, its voice incredibly sharp, as if it could pierce eardrums.
As the flames danced, Athena finally saw what it looked like.
It had a human-like body, but its back was hunched high, covered in dense scales. Its head was like a disgusting toad, its mouth like an ugly catfish. Its two large eyes bulged out of their sockets. Its limbs were thick, its hands and feet webbed like a frog’s. Its skin was covered in tumor-like bumps, filled with red and yellow mucus. Its body was rotting as if it had been eroded by a virus, and foul-smelling mucus was rolling down its skin from the broken bumps…
What a disgusting thing.
A Demon Beast?
Athena frowned.
Why was a Demon Beast tailing her?
Benson seemed to have been attacked as well. Could it be that the Demon Beasts were planning a large-scale assassination of the Hero Squad members?
This was a bold plan, but to assassinate her, they sent such a weak Demon Beast? Were they looking down on her?
Athena took a step with her long, toned legs, her graceful body swaying as she walked towards the Demon Beast in the flames.
What kind of Demon Beast was this? She had never seen it before.
As a member of the Hero Squad who had fought Demon Beasts for many years, Athena considered herself to have a thorough understanding of them. She knew how many types of Demon Beasts there were in the world, their strengths, their weaknesses, almost everything.
But this strange creature in front of her was completely beyond Athena’s knowledge.
“What are you? Why are you following me?” Athena asked coldly.
She knew this Demon Beast could understand her words.
But the Demon Beast in front of her didn’t answer. It only stared at her with its frog-like eyes, struggling in the flames until its entire body was burned to ashes.
Looking at the ashes on the ground, Athena frowned and turned to leave.
But at this moment, a gust of night wind blew, and the powder on the ground formed whirlpools in the wind, seemingly moving according to some strange rule.
Athena subconsciously stopped and stared at the strange scene on the ground. A few seconds later, the night wind suddenly disappeared, and the ashes that had been swept up by the wind scattered on the ground, forming a few words:
The Hero Must Die!
Athena’s face instantly turned pale, her chestnut pupils trembling as if an earthquake had occurred. Her gaze darted around, even to the boundless starry sky above.
Although Athena was very powerful, she knew that in the boundless starry sky, there were some mysterious and strange existences that she couldn’t understand or even glimpse.
Jie Luo had told her this. He had told her not to explore the Void.
Was this a signal from some powerful being, wanting to use her hand to kill the Hero?
But was this powerful being’s brain a little… off? It wanted her to kill the Hero, but it only sent a signal without offering any benefits?
These days, who would do anything for you without any benefits?
Not to mention, the target was the Hero.
Which Hero was this referring to? The First Hero? The Second Hero? Or both?
She wanted to kill Qin Chu, but her keen senses told her not to get involved in this strange incident. Athena retreated step by step, disappearing into the night.
From the boundless Void, a few muffled roars seemed to echo faintly.
In the depths of the Void, a massive monster with countless tentacle-like limbs was writhing frantically. Its body, which looked more like a huge, swollen, and rotting piece of flesh, was pulsating, as if it was angry…
…
On the other side, Qin Chu walked into the bedroom on the second floor of the Temple of Storms. He took off his slightly damaged coat and casually tossed it on the bed. He walked to the window, pulled back the tattered curtains, and peered out the cracked window at the scene outside.
He ultimately didn’t leave. No one could resist the law of “it smells good.”
The First Hero’s soul fragment was too tempting for Qin Chu.
Outside the window, it was dark and gloomy, the howling night wind seeming to carry an ominous aura.
“Shaye, do you think Violet… is crazy?”
Shaye gave her answer, “Between sanity and madness!”
Between sanity and madness, meaning she was on the verge of going crazy?
Violet was full of strangeness, a kind of unnatural distortion. Although she seemed quite normal when they first met, Qin Chu gradually felt something was wrong during their subsequent interactions.
Violet had repeatedly changed the subject abruptly and never gave a direct answer to his questions. It seemed she wanted to convey some information to him, but something was preventing her from fully expressing what she wanted to say. In the end, she ended the conversation very abruptly.
Violet had existed for over a thousand years. It was quite impressive that she hadn’t completely gone mad after enduring the erosion of divine knowledge for so long.
But no matter how exceptional Violet was, a thousand years was almost her limit.
During their previous conversation, the sudden change in Violet’s attitude and temperament still made Qin Chu’s hair stand on end even now when he recalled it.
And that small crystal, was it really a crystal condensed from the First Hero Jie Luo’s soul fragment? Why did this Witch insist on keeping him here for the night?
Could it be that she craved his body?
The reason was… the tea Violet had given him and Ekaterina.
There were no magic potions added to it. Qin Chu’s Mana level was very high, and Shaye was a top Witch in this aspect. If there were any magic potions, they would have definitely detected them.
However, something else had been added to the tea.
Qin Chu could feel a certain impulse stirring in his chest, a kind of longing, a longing for a soft and beautiful woman in his arms to extinguish the fire in his heart.
It wasn’t poison and hadn’t caused any harm to his body. Holy Healing hadn’t taken effect.
“It’s Moonflower pollen…” Shaye clearly knew what Qin Chu was thinking. “Moonflower pollen is a raw material used to refine magic potions. Even without magical refinement, it has some good effects. Many years ago, farmers often collected Moonflowers to feed to pigs, cattle, and sheep to accelerate their reproduction…”
“Of course, some nobles also liked this stuff because Moonflowers could also enhance male vitality to a certain extent, and the effect could last for several hours.”
“It’s said that taking it multiple times can even permanently improve length and girth.”
As expected of a Witch, she knew a lot.
If this thing were in his hometown, it would have been extinct long ago.
Of course, Qin Chu naturally didn’t need this kind of thing. He was quite confident in himself. But he could occasionally collect some Moonflowers, as they really tasted good when brewed into tea.
Violet was also a Witch. It was impossible for her not to know the effects of Moonflower pollen. So why did she specifically add it to his tea? Judging from the smell, apart from his and Violet’s tea, no Moonflower pollen had been added to the other teas.
She even arranged for him to stay upstairs and Ekaterina downstairs?
Could it be that Violet had lived alone in this dilapidated Temple of the Lord of Storms for too long and felt lonely, wanting to have a passionate encounter with him?
Qin Chu’s expression was a little strange. It wasn’t that Violet wasn’t beautiful, it was just… Violet was three meters tall, and he was only 1.8 meters tall. Qin Chu seriously doubted whether he met Violet’s standards.
Imagining that scene, he inexplicably felt like he was driving a truck.
